The Health Tech Entrepreneur
Story, Journey and Accomplishments
Fungai Ndemera is a successful multi-entrepreneur, angel investor business mentor and STEM ambassador.
She is the tech founder of CheckUp Health, an NHS England-approved multilingual one-stop hybrid AI-driven GP platform transforming primary healthcare. It empowers clinicians and GP practice administrative teams with tools that enhance decision-making and streamline workflows. The platforms support bespoke AI customisation for GPs and features multilingual capabilities, ensuring that healthcare is inclusive. The only digital health clinical system with diverse engagement metrics which comes with a patient-facing app with cultural and BAME engagement metrics, helping healthcare organisations, from GP practices to corporates, monitor proactively and effectively support patients from various backgrounds. She is the author of “The all dots digital transformation model”.
The shortages of doctors and the impact of COVID 19 on chronic patients, especially the racially diverse group, have exacerbated health inequalities. More people in the UK are living with at least two long-term conditions – 15 million now and a further 3 million by 2025. Treating these conditions accounts for half of all GP appointments, 7 out of 10 overnight stays in an NHS hospital bed, and around £7 out of every £10 spent on health and care.
With CheckUp health, policymakers and healthcare professionals can be assisted in identifying the specific needs of different ethnic groups to respond with tailored strategies for addressing inequalities.
Fungai has over 24 years of experience in entrepreneurship, digital transformation, culture and BAME health behaviours. She arrived in the UK as an immigrant and could barely speak English. With her GCSE level and a Diploma in nursing, she turned out to be a successful businesswoman and innovator. She is passionate about supporting entrepreneurs, BAME/minorities and the health sector in developing effective inclusive digital transformation solutions. She excels in seeing things come to life and execution. She is a go-getter and always sees the glass half full. (One of the voices in the book The Voices In The Shadow)
